SOURCES:

BM Loan 29t279 L 73;
Wijn, HET STAATSCHE LEGER, vol. 8 part 2, p. 779, citing J. Py R. de Alaroon, HISTORIA DE ALMANSA (Madrid, 1949).

There are several differences between these two sources, and Kerr's Foot is shown in neither; I have resolved such difficulties by comparing with references to units in battle accounts. A Dutch account which gives a very different version on the Dutch infantry deployment has been ignored. Most of the brigade commanders have been added from descriptions of the battle as they are not shown on the OBs, though these descriptions often contradict each other. Ile formation shown is that prior to the union of the first and second lines of the left.

Note: all units without a nationality marked are Portuguese. All cavalry not otherwise noted are horse-- I do not know Portuguese so have probably failed to correct many peculiar spellings in the sources.
